Focus on Integrated Treatment
What is integrated treatment for People
with Co-Occurring Mental Health and
Substance Use Disorders (COD)?
Both mental health and substance
use treatment provided by the same
clinician or team.
Receive treatment
whether you walk into
an OMH-licensed or
OASAS-certified
program.
No Wrong Door

Integrated Treatment is Effective!
People achieve
abstinence or really cut
down on substance use
They get jobs
They get their own
apartments or homes
They make friends
with people who
don’t use
substances
Their mental health
symptoms improve
and they are happier
with life overall.

What learners are saying
“I love the trainings. They are so welcome because it is
difficult to get out of the office. I enjoy learning more
about substance abuse and value the melding of the
two disciplines.”
“Very clear, effective presentation of
different types of supervision.”
“I like the mix of video and text. The information about
stages of treatment and stages of change gives one some
very concrete information which I can directly utilize when
working with an individual”
What learners are saying
“I like the way you showed a real person in a
real situation. It made it easy to identify with the
person and view their needs as able to be met in
manageable steps ... the steps of each module
were broken down to make them easy to learn,
manageable and much in the same way I would
hope I treat my clients.”
“This module addresses the critical issue of what
leadership should look like, and what a leader
should be doing. The sections about supervision
were excellent.”
“It reinforced my beliefs about what my agency needs
to do to move our integrated program forward.”
